The New Green Light

The New Green Light - Hank Thompson

I turned your whole card upside down

I caught you cheating and running around

There's a smile upon your face while another takes my place

And now at last dear the truth I've found

Babe there's the green light you're free to go

You'll take a high road I'll take the low

Here's your coat and shoes and don't forget your blues

You're on canoe now you'll have to row

Babe there's the green light shift your gears

I know you fooled me for all these years

I'll hold my head up high and I'll forget you by and by

And there'll be laughter instead of tears

Babe there's the green light kick up your heels

There'll come a day you'll know how it feels

To have your aces trump and be taken for a chump

Now there's the green light so spin your wheels
